Yeah really! Ariel's the shit. The only person who comes close to touching him in an interview it.....
MMA Fix’s Dave Farra. Ariel is always much more hard hitting and always askes whoever he’s interviewing about future events as much as possible. He’s great at pulling a scoop out of someone.
Renzo vs Hughes Likely for UFC 112 at Abu Dhabi
When Dana White was asked Thursday if the Hughes-Gracie bout would he held in Abu Dhabi –- a location White recently scouted himself –- the UFC President answered cryptically.
"Sounds good to me," he said, smiling broadly.
Asked about making that match, White noted that he respects a lot of fighters in the sport and implied that not every UFC fight has to have title implications.
"There’s this whole beef over Renzo choking out Pat Miletich (Hughes’ mentor) and sometimes it’s more than just; sometimes guys just want to fight and Renzo’s been training, he wants to fight Matt Hughes and Matt Hughes wants to fight him," said White.
The fact that Sheik Tahnoon, of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family, is a Renzo Gracie black belt, along with White’s own statements on the promotion’s desire to hold an event in the United Arab Emirate’s capital, all point to the UFC’s Middle Eastern debut with this headlining bout.

Automatic rifles are less expensive than penile extension surgery.
Keep firing Assholes!
Fedor has accomplished nothing until he fights Kimbo.

Less likely to get a man in trouble, too.

Not going to watch it if it happens.

More Dana White:
He talks about Brock Lesnar, Houston, Dan Henderson, Hoelzer Reich, Rampage, Renzo etc..

Hendo wanted top dollar while he wasnt the top draw. I just find it funny the thing he wanted the most was Anderson Silva. He might not of been next but he wasn’t far from the front of the line for the championship. And last time i checked Anderson didn’t fight for Strikeforce
"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar
The word "respect" gets thrown around a lot these days in regards to Dana White and the UFC
Using strongarm tactics like banning sponsors, insulting fighters just because they are not in the UFC, and jumping to conclusions are reasons why I can see more higher end fighters signing to other MMA promotions (money is obviously a driving factor of course). There were rumors of CroCop going to DREAM after his Al-Turk fight, and Dana just goes off on CroCop when it turns out that those rumors weren’t true. Brett Rogers loses to Fedor, and Dana flat-out insults Rogers by saying he can’t hang with some of the UFC fighters even though I feel that Dana and the UFC would sign Rogers as quickly as possible if they could. Dana made claims that Hendo denied like Henderson wanted to be the highest paid fighter in the UFC, and that he pushed Hendo to sign with Strikeforce.
seeing how he's jewish
that certainly crosses the line from irony to stupidity. as does that suggestion.

Whoever came up with Houston's gameplan
should get a bouquet of flowers because he just gave the UFC a bearded ATM full of street cred.

Mick Doyle is to blame for Houston's undoing
I am right down the road from Omaha, I train BJJ and I wish that Houston would seriously get with some of the other schools in Omaha and train with them instead at Doyle’s school. It is honestly not a legit place to train for MMA, kickboxing, yes, but well rounded MMA, no. This was glaringly evident in the Kimbo fight. Dude needs needed to learn some Jiu Jitsu, that is what a smart coach would have went into a Kimbo fight with.
Kind of sad on Houston’s part. He was given a huge shot to make himself a big name, and he totally blew it. That looked to me like just a mental cramp out there
Now that Houston is officially cut...
I would love to see him go fight Sokoudjou in Dream or Strike Force.
for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.
Clinch —> Trip —> Pound —> win for Soko, I’d guess. Makes me sad, though. Houston seems like a good dude.

^ROFL... that is the recipe to beat Housant Alexander
But he strikes me as a genuine dude who works out. Also isnt he a single dad n DJ/Producer or something?
anyways~ l like Aerial’s interviewing style of Arial.
Anyone remembers Rampage slapping Arial one time in the past? LOL I hope Rampage gets his ass whooped by someone… i think Jackson is able to beat Rashad.
After than rematch UFC make the bout between Quinton Jackson n the winner of Lyoto Machida vs. Maurcio “SHOGUN” Rua 2~
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
You have to beat the legend, in order to become the LEGEND
